    A number of the properties outside town I've been looking at fall in the line of "10-30 acres, existing double wide on property that needs work" type scenarios. Or a few with a pre-existing small Barndominuim. Perfect scenario would be we buy one of those, I spend a some time fixing up the...

    Stargate SG-1

    All those Ancient inventions? They were really invented by the Unas and the Ancients STOLE THEM ALL, then introduced Gou'ald to colonize the Unas to keep them down.

    Home Improvement

    The offers I have gotten on the house so far are all sight unseen specifically saying they don't care about the house. Although they're also all what I assume to be low balls, they're still something like 3.5-4x what I paid for the house in 2001. I'm leaning towards the less expensive fix...

    Anybody else think something like this might be why the market didn't go nuts on the NVDA double beat? I'm trying to figure out if it really matters.

    I have a wife who has been wanting something like this... hurm.... And they don't look all that hideously expensive to boot. We have a 15x30 enclosed patio room on the back side of our house that would give a good place for this I think. Of course, then we have the problem I actually came...

    Stargate SG-1

    In the video up there they do specifically call out to it being an "accessible" Stargate story/world for people unfamiliar with the franchise and possibly even not big SciFi people. The more I think about this the more this indicates to me it will need to be an Earth based show to be more...

    I'll admit to still thinking this is awfully bubbly. Although the tempering to that thought is that unlike the dotcom era these companies do at least have real revenue streams and cash flows. And my stock angst today has almost nothing to do with NVDA and more to do with other investments I'm...

    I just wonder how much NVDA earnings are going to swing every other stock that's releasing earnings after them. It feels AWFULLY .com bubbly to me right now, and I say that as someone who had stock options at the company I was with at the time go to essentially zero worth during the dotcom...

    Stargate SG-1

    Yeah, that seems to be my take on it too, that it will be a "new chapter" of an SG-1 style story based on Earth. When I told @Mrs. Haus about this her first question was "But who will be the bad guys since they destroyed the Gou'ald, Replicators, and Ori?" But I figure they'll come up with...

    Stargate SG-1

    I'll start off with a rating of "Tentative optimistic" since they have Wright and Malozzi involved. Calling it a "unique chapter" in the same universe, I wonder if they're going to tell the pre-SG1 universe of Goa'uld v. Ancient, etc....

    The Video Thread

    I saw this ad and had to rewatch it a couple times as I SWORE it had to be some kind of satire, but nope... real ad... real law firm... Best line : Call your favorite attorney now! He'd call you, but HE DOESN'T HAVE YOUR NUMBER!

    Closest I can find right this second.. (but now it will bug me until my 'tism finds it...) is... Re-racked to start with a baseline of the end of the 2008 crash (in may 2009). Seems a very modest growth in household income compared to rent overtaking it and really never looking back except a...
